remember the days when the US would send staff to third world countries to make sure elections remained democratic! here we are right up to the primaries, first they send out the wrong ballots, close voting places, we asked for absentee as my husband travels and the ballet comes in less than a week of the primary so of course it cant make it two trips in the mail. then they close the kona elections office, and now the hilo office has staff out all week. NO secure container for the drop off ballots?? that is a new one...they always went into a wooden box that YOU dropped them in yourself. what is next? close the polls friday night???
